AD and Biogas Industry Awards 2020 shortlist revealed
The AD and Biogas Industry Awards 2020 shortlist has been revealed.
The awards, run by the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) and the World Biogas Association (WBA), recognise achievements in biogas innovation, clever use of outputs, international knowledge exchange and collaboration, financing and more.
Originally launched by ADBA in 2010 for the UK market, the awards became international in 2017 with WBA joining as co-organiser and are increasingly seeing participation from overseas companies and projects as a result.
Charlotte Morton, ADBA's chief executive, said: "We're delighted to see finalists from Israel, Malaysia, Kenya and Thailand and South America alongside those from Europe and the UK in this year's shortlist.
"This is a testimony of the global growth of the biogas industry and we know there are many more projects and initiatives out there that deserve recognition.
"Thank you to all those who entered this year's competition and let's keep shouting about the great benefits that the AD technology offers around the world. Congratulations to our 2020 finalists and good luck for the final."
